Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Northern Frac Proppants, LLC (NFP) announced a multi-year agreement to supply Northern White frac sand to CARBO Ceramics' new processing plant in western Wisconsin, US. NFP is also building a 145-acre (0.58km 2 ) sand mine and processing plant adjacent to CARBO's sand processing and resin-coating plant in Marshfield, Wisconsin. At the end of April, London's historic Stationers' Hall played host to IM's Proppant Prospects for Europe Roundtable, where among other topics, the security of proppant supply in Europe was discussed. Clive Mitchell at the British Geological Survey said: UK is nearly self-sufficient in silica sand (...) there are 40 sand quarries in the UK producing 4m tonnes of silica sand. In July, a new Alberta, Canada-based frac sand terminal, owned by specialty chemicals company Di-Corp., begun to benefit from Canadian National Railway (CN) services. The 20-acre (0.08km 2 ) frac sand terminal has an annual throughput capacity of 550,000 tonnes frac sand.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
